TL;DR: A comprehensive molecular phylogeny for bony fishes that includes representatives of all major lineages and the order Perciformes, considered by many a polyphyletic taxonomic waste basket, is defined for the first time as a monophyletic group in the global phylogeny.

TL;DR: This version of the phylogenetic classification of bony fishes is substantially improved, providing resolution for more taxa than previous versions, based on more densely sampled phylogenetic trees.

Taxon sampling and the accuracy of phylogenetic analyses
TL;DR: Thorough taxon sampling is one of the most practical ways to improve the accuracy of phylogenetic estimates, as well as the accuracyof biological inferences that are based on these phylogenetic trees.

The nature of the diversity of Antarctic fishes
TL;DR: The species diversity of the Antarctic fish fauna changed notably during the ≈40 million years from the Eocene to the present, and in some notothenioid clades phyletic diversification was accompanied by considerable morphological and ecological diversification.

Mitogenomic evolution and interrelationships of the Cypriniformes (Actinopterygii: Ostariophysi): the first evidence toward resolution of higher-level relationships of the world's largest freshwater fish clade based on 59 whole mitogenome sequences.

TL;DR: The present study represents the first attempt toward resolution of the higher-level relationships of the world’s largest freshwater-fish clade based on whole mitochondrial genome sequences from 53 cypriniforms plus 6 outgroups, and it is advocated that RY-coding, which takes only transversions into account, effectively removes this likely “noise” from the data set and avoids the apparent lack of signal by retaining all available positions in the dataSet.

Are the fossil data really at odds with the molecular data? Morphological evidence for cetartiodactyla phylogeny reexamined.
Gavin J. P. Naylor,Dean C. Adams +1 more
TL;DR: Despite the resurgent interest in the problem, no consensus reconciling the different signals has yet been reached, and the “return to water” aspect of this phylogenetic hypothesis has met with resistance from those who work primarily with morphology.

Phylogenetic relationships of mormyrid electric fishes (Mormyridae; Teleostei) inferred from cytochrome b sequences.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships among mormyrids were determined by comparing cytochrome b sequences of 27 species belonging to 15 genera and confirmed that the lateral ethmoid bone was lost several times within the Mormyrinae.

Molecular phylogenetic perspective on the evolution of the deep-sea fish genusCyclothone (Stomiiformes: Gonostomatidae)
Masaki Miya,Mutsumi Nishida +1 more
TL;DR: Repeated evolution of such changes strongly suggests ontogenetic plasticity in Cyclothone which could enable these fishes to acquire larval-like, simple organization of body structure, which could help them subsist in food-poor surroundings and regulate reproductive variables that take advantage of increasing larval survival toward shallower depths.

Molecular phylogenetics and the evolution of Antarctic notothenioid fishes
TL;DR: In this article, the monophyly of the antarctic fish suborder Notothenioidei and the Bovichtidae have been investigated with 12S and 16S mitochondrial DNA sequences.
